Whatcha play'n?

They can also share the snuggles at the campfire!

I need more grave robbers to make my party complete. Why do Hellions keep showing up in the cart? I love hellions, but they make up almost a third of my roster if I don't stop recruiting them.

Here you can have my Grave Robb-- oh.



I am having a real hard time with Level 3 missions. *sigh*

Provisionless dark runs with level 0 heroes are the best way to make money when you accidentally spend all your provision gold on locking in traits.

Which brings me to a serious problem with this game: The amount of gold it costs to invest in a hero! If they have an absolutely amazing level 0 run, a fresh party won't need to spend 4000+ gold to fix their stress. But the fact that it costs 4000+ gold to remove stress from a party after their first run is a huge problem! It makes not investing heavily in heroes and just letting them earn you gold and die or get fired too attractive. I really wish that killing/firing too many heroes would start to have a negative impact of some sort. I guess NG+ sorta has that going for it, though I haven't gotten that far yet!

Dealing with quirks is so friggin' expensive, I had to just stop bothering so I could afford equipment and skill upgrades. Which sucks, because shit like Paranormania can cause runs to go south really quickly if it compels someone to touch something that gives them a ton of stress right away. You'd think even after buying price reduction upgrades for your buildings, upgrading new low level characters wouldn't seem so expensive, but when you've had my night of DODGE DODGE MISS DODGE DODGE DEATHBLOW, well.

I've heard of the strategy of hiring a bunch of level 0's to help boost 1 or 2 of your lower level characters, and then just firing them when their stress gets too high so you don't spend money on them, but that's harder when the only green quests you have open are bosses. :/

That's where sending them in with no provisions comes in. They die, you had zero stake anyway. They need to bail, every single thing they looted is pure profit...

Ugh yeah, I mean I know portraits are large and hard to transport in real life, but they're just such a pain to collect...

Oh, and I'm still playing Skyrim! There was a mini-build contest (level 30 and under) and the winner was the . It's pretty much the perfect Skyrim playthrough. A true Nord, no crafting skills, very focused on roleplaying the civil war and dragon crisis. It's even better with the Hunterborn mod! My BoK is a cute lil flaming-haired, wild child of a Nord who wants revenge on the Empire for killing her mother due to Kyne+Hircine worship and 'witchcraft'.

Busts are heavier and they stack to 6!

And okay, so this thread doesn't turn into Darkest Dungeon hell, I also bought Bayonetta 2 with its recent price drop, and it has a fantastic opening. Haven't gotten far into it, but it's as fun as I remember the first one being.

[Librari]

Ack... everything turns into a Skyrim build eventually.

I'm making the Grave Robber. That's right, the most deliciously OP mobility-based dagger-and-poison build you can imagine...

The best part so far is mimicking Flashing Daggers. Rather than trying to use bows or xbows to keep it ranged, I'm going with a surprisingly unknown glitch that lets you make extremely rapid attacks with any one-handed weapon... I was able to get 4 hits in 1 second on the Helgen bear, and it gets even more ridiculous and reliable with Slow Time...

[Kerreth]

Stupid fucking pig.
